Notes

See Sims-Williams/1992, 40--42, for a full discussion of this inscription, and especially the use of the `St Andrew's cross' forfid for /p/.

Palaeography:

Macalister/1945, 224: `the P being represented by the I-forfid.'

McManus/1991, 79, also notes the use of this symbol for the writing of p.

Sims-Williams/1992, 41--42, discusses the form of this p symbol, and argues that its `St Andrews cross' shape `can be interpreted as a BB monogram', illustrative of the closeness of B and P in Irish, Latin and some Continental Celtic languages.

Legibility:

someMacalister/1945, 224: `The scores were boldy formed, and are legible, though worn: but the inscribed edge has suffered recent injury. When I saw it first, some years ago, it was quite perfect... The O, part of the G, I, and first T12 have since broken away'.

Logitti (Language: Goidelic; Gender: male)
See McManus/1991, 108. For a similar example, LUGUTTI, see CRAG/1.

Erpenn (Language: Incomplete Information; Gender: male)
Sims-Williams/1992, 40--41, having ruled out the possibility of equating this name with names in ERC-, goes on to state that `Macalister's attempt to see a Pict down here in Co. Kerry, citing the Pictish name Erp, seems a desperate but not impossible solution. ... it is not impossible that ERPENN should be a hybrid of Pictish Erp and Irish diminuitive -Ún. But this is quite uncertain'.
